Guan Yu was a very famous general in the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yu was brave and courageous, so that the people still respect Guan Yu. The death of Guan Yu made countless people sigh, but in fact, the reason why Guan Yu left Maicheng that year was that he suffered a joint attack from many famous military officers and generals. Even Guan Yu couldn't beat it. Today we will analyze it.
Before Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei's Shuhan Group was at its peak. The battle of Hanzhong defeated Cao Cao, occupied Hanzhong, Shangyong, and the strength of Shuhan skyrocketed. In this case, Cao Cao could only find another way to attack Jingzhou, the belly of the world. The first is Cao Ren and Pound. Unfortunately, the two of them are not Guan Yu's opponents. Later, Yu Jin led tens of thousands of horses to support, and was defeated by Guan Yu Flooded Seventh Army. Yu Jin even surrendered Guan Yu. Later, Xu Huang's reinforcements arrived, which saved Cao Ren's life.
After this battle, Guan Yu was famous in China, and Cao Cao's generals almost came out, still unable to resist Guan Yu's edge. Even Cao Cao himself was scared to move his capital, thinking that Xuchang was too close to Guan Yu.
In this situation, Cao Cao's two army divisions were dispatched. They were Sima Yi and Jiang Ji. These two men made Cao Cao's plan to join forces with Sun Quan, and wanted Sun Quan to attack Guan Yu from behind. Sun Quan was indeed dispatched.
Soochow has always been very afraid of Guan Yu, so even the fight is sneaky, which makes people unable to generate good impressions. Sun Quan first sent Lv Meng and Lu Xun to attack Jingzhou. They first avoided the war passively, saying that they did not dare to offend Guan Yu, so Guan Yu was relieved and concentrated on dealing with Cao Cao in the north. Dong Zhao, another adviser of Cao Cao, said that since Soochow did not dare to fight, then we told Guan Yu about the cooperation with Soochow, so that Soochow had to fight.
At this time, Soochow finally dispatched. Lu Meng led an army to attack Guan Yu and take the Nanjun. Guan Yu was shocked and quickly retreated to the rear. However, most of the soldiers under Guan Yu were from Jingzhou. Seeing that his hometown was stolen, they had no intention of fighting. In this situation, Guan Yu could not resist the joint attack of Cao Cao and Soochow, so he could only retreat to Maicheng and take refuge.
Later, Guan Yu led a small number of elite soldiers to break through, but was defended by Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran and had to be captured. Of course Guan Yu refused to give in, so he was killed.
Looking at it this way, Guan Yu alone faced the combined attack of Cao Cao's three military divisions, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, and Dong Zhao, and six generals Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Lv Meng, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang, and Zhu Ran. But Guan Yu didn't have a better counselor at the time, and his personality was a bit arrogant. In this case, it was a pity that it ended in failure.
